Tweaking Your Speaker Placement


"Depending on the speakers an 1/8” move in the right way can have a significant impact."

What I am curious about is how one can verifiably move a speaker exactly 1/8th of an inch? My speakers on stands weigh about 60 pounds each and being bookshelf speakers, they are a little top heavy. They are also on IsoAcoustic Gaia's, which don't really slide too well.

How do you do it?

An 1/8 of an inch -- does that mean you have to keep your head in a vice?

Such precise placement of loudspeaker and listener should not effect tonality or dynamics, but it might provide some soundstage/imaging info on some specific recordings.  Possibly similar to adjusting VTA or SRA for individual records.

It doesn't hurt to try!
